Now Accepting Session Pitches For SMX Advanced Seattle

Do you have a topic you’d like to see covered in a session at SMX Advanced Seattle on June 7-8, 2011? Something you’d like to see covered in depth, or a discussion of advanced strategies and tactics for getting the most out your search marketing campaigns? If so, we’d like to hear from you. Please head over to the SMX session pitch form and describe your idea(s) for sessions at the show. Please include:

Proposed session title

One paragraph description of the session

Optional: Speakers who you think are most qualified for this panel

Note: At this point, we’re looking for session ideas, not individual speakers. We’ll put out a call for speakers when we post the agenda during the week of March 28th.

Remember that all sessions at SMX usually feature 3-4 speakers with 10-15 minutes each of speaking time, so please make sure your idea will accommodate that format. We’re not interested in any pitches for sessions where a single individual would speak for an entire session. And also please remember, no product or service pitches.

Key milestones for SMX Advanced Seattle

Again, the pitch form is for session ideas only. We will open up a separate pitch form for people to apply to speak on specific panels once the agenda is posted.

Session pitches open March 1, close March 18

Agenda posted & speaking pitches open week of March 28th

Speaking pitches close April 22

Ready to pitch? Please use the SMX session pitch form, and do not email Danny or Chris. These days we work with a team of people to help coordinate speaker selection. We need a centralized online system to help manage that process so things don’t slip through the cracks. By far the most reliable way to express interest in speaking is to go through the system – email too often gets overlooked or lost.

And don’t delay—we’ll be closing the session pitch form on March 18th.

SMX Advanced is the only conference designed exclusively for experienced paid search advertisers and SEOs. You'll participate in experts-only sessions and network with fellow internet marketing thought leaders. Check out the tactic-packed agenda!
